JPG to PNG Converter

Lossless with full transparency support.

90%

PNG is lossless — quality does not apply.

Conversion runs entirely in your browser — your image never leaves your device.

JPG to PNG Converter

JPG is fine for sharing but poor for working: every re-save degrades the image a little more. Converting to PNG gives you a lossless master copy that survives future edits, supports transparency and opens in every editor. Drop a JPG below and export a PNG — all locally in your browser.

When You Need PNG Instead of JPG

Switch to PNG when the image is headed into an editing workflow — layered compositions, annotation tools, screenshots for documentation — or when it will be re-saved multiple times. PNG stores pixels losslessly, so the tenth re-save is identical to the first.

PNG also carries a full alpha channel, so you can cut out backgrounds or add transparent margins afterwards without switching formats again.

A Realistic Expectation Check

Converting to PNG does not repair anything: JPEG compression artifacts already in the photo stay exactly as they are. What you gain is a format that will not lose anything further — every future crop, resize and re-save keeps the image bit-for-bit identical.

The PNG will be larger than the source JPG. That's expected: lossless storage simply takes more room, and it is the entire point of the conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will converting JPG to PNG improve quality?

No — existing JPEG artifacts remain, and no converter can undo them. What PNG gives you is a lossless copy that will not degrade through future edits and re-saves.

Why is the PNG so much bigger?

PNG stores every pixel losslessly while JPG discards detail to compress. A photo converted from JPG is typically several times larger — that is the cost of a lossless master.

Does the PNG have a transparent background?

Not automatically — JPG has no transparency to carry over. The PNG gains alpha capability, so you can create transparency yourself in any editor afterwards.

Which should I use for the web?

For photos, stay with JPG or switch to WebP — PNG photos are heavy. PNG is the right target for graphics, text and images you plan to edit further.
